Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. A system for manufacture of an information handling system, the system comprising: an order engine operable to accept information handling system orders from an end user, each order having a wireless service provider of the end user and having associated purchasing information; a wireless service provider registry database having plural wireless service provider registry entries, each wireless service provider registry entry associated with a wireless service provider; an end user wireless registry engine operable to analyze the purchasing information to generate an end user wireless service registry; and an image engine interfaced with the order engine, the wireless service provider registry database and the end user wireless registry engine, the image engine operable to generate an image for the orders, each image having an operating system, the operating system having a wireless service provider registry entry and an end user wireless service registry entry that define wireless service for the information handling system according to the order; wherein the wireless service provider registry entry comprises provisioning information to provision wireless service for the information handling system and the image further comprises a wireless provisioning engine operable to automatically provision wireless service on initial power up of the information handling system.

2

2. The system of claim 1 wherein the end user wireless service entry comprises a wireless carrier service to provide wireless service to the information handling system.

3

3. The system of claim 2 wherein the wireless carrier service comprises a wireless protocol identification.

4

4. The system of claim 2 wherein the wireless carrier service comprises a wireless access point for the information handling system to interact with the wireless carrier service.

5

5. The system of claim 2 wherein the wireless carrier service comprises a DNS service for assigning network address information to the information handling system.

6

6. The information handling system of claim 1 wherein the image engine is further operable to analyze the wireless service registry entry to select a wireless driver for operating a wireless radio of the information handling system.

7

7. The information handling system of claim 6 wherein the wireless driver operates the wireless radio by a GSM protocol.

8

8. The information handling system of claim 6 wherein the wireless driver operates the wireless radio by a CDMA protocol.

9

9. The system of claim 1 further comprising an update engine operable to interface with an information handling system having a wireless service registry entry to update the wireless service registry entry for modifying wireless service at the information handling system.

10

10. A method for manufacture of an information handling system, the method comprising: accepting an order for the information handling system from an end user, the order having a wireless service provider and associated purchasing information; selecting a wireless service provider registry entry for the order from a database having a plurality of wireless service provider registry entry, each wireless service provider registry entry associated with a wireless service provider; generating an end user wireless service registry entry from the purchasing information; creating an image to load to the information handling system, the image having an operating system with the selected wireless service provider registry entry and the end user wireless service registry entry; copying the image to an information handling system having a wireless service radio; and upon initially powering up the information handling, automatically provisioning the wireless service radio with the wireless service provider registry entry and the end user wireless service registry entry.

11

11. The method of claim 10 wherein the end user wireless service entry comprises a wireless carrier service to provide wireless service to the information handling system.

12

12. The method of claim 11 wherein the wireless carrier service comprises a wireless protocol identification.

13

13. The method of claim 11 wherein the wireless carrier service comprises a wireless access point for the information handling system to interact with the wireless carrier service.

14

14. The method of claim 11 wherein the wireless carrier service comprises a DNS service for assigning network address information to the information handling system.

15

15. The method of claim 10 further comprising: analyzing the wireless service registry entry to select a wireless driver for operating a wireless radio of the information handling system; and copying the selected wireless driver to the image.

16

16. The method of claim 15 wherein the wireless driver operates the wireless radio by a GSM protocol.

17

17. The method of claim 15 wherein the wireless driver operates the wireless radio by a CDMA protocol.

18

18. The method of claim 10 further comprising: shipping the information handling system to an end user; and updating the information handling system through a network, the update modifying the wireless service registry entry for modifying wireless service at the information handling system.
